Advantages: far more than just an email client
Disadvantages: requires specialist support and setting up

Lotus Notes is a business tool. It is of very limited use to an individual user working in isolation. Rather than try and regurgitate individual bullet points which are listed on IBMs site, I will try and explain just what Notes is, and why it is of immense value to business. To describe Lotus Notes as an email client is rather missing the point. It's true that about 90% of the work it handles is electronic mail, however that's only part of the ...

Would not recommend this software ... Read review
